#2Weird Science. We all want to make something beautiful. The only differences are what goals we're after.

Primer is a great movie. It is in fact "startup themed," although it is a little light on the business side of things; it's more focused on the product they design...

Ah, yes, you're right. I misremembered. It's been a while since I saw it.
It's one of the lowest budget movies ever that I've watched and enjoyed more than most of the high budget ones.
It's also a complete mind bender.

#9Micro Men from BBC had some startuppy themes when Acorn began, although it was more about the rivalry with Sinclair than the startup experience itself.
In my head I associate all kinds of survival movies like Cast Away, Rescue Dawn etc. being startuppy as well in the sense that the characters are surviving on their wits and persistence, against forces of nature and their own doubts.
